Clay Vest Alternative

[danfick]

Fairly new to clays and I've come to realise that stuffing cartridges in my pockets is not the best option. Looking to sort something out but want an alternative to the typical clay vest. Any ideas?

 

Thanks

A pouch, on a belt. You can were anything you want then

[TIGHTCHOKE]

The Clay vest has become a very handy piece of kit, well designed and I would love to know what you want your alternative to do.

 

Go on, give us a clue!

As Rupert said I use this on hot days

[Stonepark]

Surplus Webbing belt and couple of pouches.

[buze]

Just bought one of these at 80 quid: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0063233LW

 

It's really well made; it's not the most fantastic leather in the trade, but it's definitely well made, thick leather and will probably break in well. Unfortunately the one I got is WAY too big -- I took 3XL as it's marked as 'up to 48" chest' and mine is 50; and somehow, I just float in it... But, i think the replacement will be OK...

[TIGHTCHOKE]

Those zips should make short work of the finish on your stock!

[BerettaSV10]

Think I would be catching the stock on the breast pocket with that one.

[TIGHTCHOKE]

Did it come with one of these?

 

[Rupert]

Freddie Mercury had one of those.

[buze]

Well quite frankly I take the Mercury look over the Skeet look any day of the week ;-) -- skeet vest + red glasses for extra stylistic points.

[HDAV]

I bet your quite the hit down at the old Blue Oyster.........

[Westley]

A Morrisons bag will hold around 50 12 bores without the handles snapping and all for 5p too !

Please tell me you don't wear this shooting?

no one would nick that one would they now.

[B25Modelman]

It does not come close to the goth we witnessed at a local shoot. He was dressed all in black, leather waistcoat, high (very) goth boots, a black semi auto.....but the striking thing being, two cartridge belts worn crossed over the chest, bandolier style. Ohhhh dear.

[eon]

^^If you see that goth fella again please please please take a sneaky photo!

[Squinting shot]

get a cartridge bag you can usually hang it on the cage or trap you shoot from. Or what I do is take 10 cartridges out of the bag just before I get into the cage and leave the bag on floor next to me 10 shots in my pocket.

One of the lads I shoot with doesnt wear a skeet vest or cartridge bag on the belt nor any other jacket so after every shot he`s fishing around for cartridges for the next pair. It looks awkward and distracting / off putting to his shooting and am sure he would just be more comfortable if he invested in something ! They last years and despite seeming expensive for what they are they just work and make life easier.

Look for a second hand vest on here and other forums as they do come on from time to time, I got mine off here
